Chapter 122: Deposed Crown Prince
We can’t get married because he doesn’t agree?
Jiang Cinian was a little confused after hearing this.
"Why not? Why don't you agree?"
"Why don't you agree?" Baili Boqin looked up at the night.
The bright moon hides, and the stars shine brightly.
It seems like this troubled world.
He said coldly, "You are from my Medicine King Valley. Even though the Medicine King Valley is gone now, it will definitely be rebuilt in the future."
"You're going to follow me around the world and dedicate your life to this. How can you possibly marry a woman? Aren't you... aren't you going to harm her?"
"And how did you choose? There are all kinds of women in the world, why did you choose these wealthy families? Are they people you would like to get along with?"
Jiang Cinian was stunned. He had originally planned to settle down in Xianyang City, but he had never thought about traveling around the world. Moreover...
"What's wrong with our clan? Although in this world, our clans are in chaos, and countless of them oppress the people to death, we can't just condemn them all."
"You have come to Xianyang City, and you should have met the people of Pingzhou and Xianyang City. In this world, the Cui family is considered to be kind and benevolent."
"Sixth Lady is also a very good woman in the world. She is clear about gratitude and resentment, she..."
"Alright." Baili Boqin interrupted him. "I don't know whether Cui Liuniang is a good person or not, but I raised you. You will follow me in the future. I don't agree with your marriage. I'll give you a few more days. You can talk to the other party and cancel the marriage. Then we'll leave."
Jiang Cinian didn't know what to do for a moment.
He was about to propose marriage and might even choose a wedding date soon. If he left now, how could he be worthy of Cui Si?
But if he didn't leave, he would be letting down the master who raised him.
His mind was in a mess. After thinking for a while, he said, "Master, I'm sorry I can't agree to this right away. I need to think it over carefully. How about you stay here for now? I'll bring Sixth Lady to see you another day. If you still don't agree, we can talk about it then."
Baili Boqin saw that he was in a trance, so he waved his sleeves and told him to get out: "Go back and rest first, we'll talk tomorrow, I'm tired too."
Jiang Cinian breathed a sigh of relief and bowed to take his leave: "Master, rest in peace. This disciple will take his leave."
After Jiang Cinian turned around and left, Baili Boqin still sat in the yard for a long time.
After an unknown amount of time, he finally raised his head and looked at the stars in the sky.
The stars in the sky are shining brightly, and insects and birds are chirping all around, rising and falling continuously in the darkness.
"The stars are vying for attention, and this is a time of great turmoil."
"Hide from the mortal world and wait for peace."
.
At this time, Jiang Shao, who had been recuperating in Piaomiao City for some days, received a letter from his father, Duke Pingguo.
"Yan Xingshan was no match for you back then, and Yan Xingchuan is just a kid now. How could you lose to him? He's truly a piece of crap."
"How can you avenge your elder sister and Qingya when you are so incompetent?"
"If you can't defend Miaozhou and kill Yan Xingchuan, you don't have to come back."
Jiang Shao had a cold face and placed the letter on the candle to burn.
Watching the letter being engulfed by the flames, his eyes seemed to be dyed red by the flames.
At night, Jiang Shao woke up from his dream with large beads of cold sweat falling from his forehead.
He wiped the sweat off his face with his hand, and without even putting on his shoes, he went to the study room and started rummaging through the drawers looking for something.
The night watchman saw this and asked him what he was looking for.
"Where's the portrait I brought back from Chongshan Pass?"
"Portrait? What portrait?"
"The disciple of Medicine King Valley, Cui Liuniang's fiancé."
Ah...this...
These are not important things. They left in a hurry and only packed up some important things and the food that was not burned, and then left. No one knows whether they are still there now.
"Sir, I don't know whether he brought it with him or left it at Chongshan Pass. I have to look for it to find out."
"Then hurry and find it."
Everyone was helpless. Seeing that Jiang Shao was doing it himself, they could only call a few more people to come and search.
It took him an hour to search, and he finally found the portrait that he had casually thrown in the corner of the box.
Jiang Shao stared at the portrait for a long time, his fingers pressing on it tightly.
"Deposed Crown Prince..."
He finally remembered where it looked familiar.
The person in this portrait has about 50% similarity in facial features to the deposed crown prince of that year. If the expression is included, the similarity can reach 70% to 80%.
However, the deposed crown prince had been sentenced to death eighteen years ago, so this person definitely could not be his.
Jiang Shao stared at the portrait for a long time, replaying the events of that year over and over in his mind, and suddenly thought of a possibility.
"Qingya..."
At that time, the deposed crown prince was suddenly poisoned and fell into a coma. Countless people received the imperial edict and rushed to treat him. In the end, it was the people from Yaowang Valley who arrived and detoxified the deposed crown prince, saving his life.
He was only nine years old at the time. Because the deposed crown prince was his brother-in-law, he often visited the East Palace. He accidentally heard the deposed crown prince and his elder sister talking about how the poison might have come from the palace.
The old emperor was extremely suspicious. The reason he could sit on the throne was mostly because the previous emperor liked the deposed prince, his eldest grandson, and even directly named him the crown prince.
After the previous emperor passed away, the old emperor ascended the throne and sat on the throne for five or six years. The prince had already reached adulthood.
The prince was kind and benevolent, and treated others with generosity. He was praised by all the people in the world, and respected by all the civil and military officials in the court. Later, the prince married a princess and had an eldest son, and the old emperor could no longer tolerate him.
The prince had an only son, who suddenly died less than two months after he was detoxified.
If the prince had known that he was in danger, it is not impossible that he would have sent the child away early.
In addition, the prince had contact with people from Yaowang Valley.
That person...
Jiang Shao felt his heartbeat getting faster and faster.
"Qingya."
Jiang Shao suddenly regained consciousness and instructed his men to investigate: "Arrange some people to check on Baili Boqin in Yaowang Valley. If possible, bring him here. I have something to ask him."
"Also, let's check on Jiang Cinian..."
River.
If he really is that person, his mother's surname is Jiang.
This river is not that river. If it is not a coincidence, it is probably intentional.
"If possible, bring him here too."
"yes."
The subordinate took the order and left. After a while, the room became quiet again.
Jiang Shao thought about it, then walked to the table and wrote a letter to his father, informing him of the matter.
At the moment, he may not be a match for Yan Xingchuan, and he may not be able to stop the Northern Yan Army, but he, as his father, should be able to do it.
The father and son have always hated and exploited each other.
fair enough.
